Excuse the Christians while they run for their eyeglasses before typing out a response about perfection.

If the human eye is so perfect:
Why do cats have better vision that us, in terms of day/night vision?
Why to eagles have better resolution?
Why is it that the nerve connections run across the inner surface of the eye? This makes it less sensitive because the light has to pass though the nerves and you get a blind spot where the nerve bundle goes though the back of the eye.
If it is so perfect why are some people colour-blind?
If it so perfect why does the brain have to do huge amounts of pre-processing to get it in focus and clean up the image so our fore-brains can then work out what it is an image of?
If it is so perfect why do we have cells that detect luminance (B&W only) an seperate cells that detect colours? This is redundant as the luminance information can be calculated from the colour information?
If it is so perfect why are the colours the cones (colour detectors) detect not spread better across the spectrum? Rather than blue, (pretty good) yellowish green (rather than true green) and orange red (rather than true red) ?

All of them. Only a fraction of the spectrum is translated by the optic nerve into useable brain signals - this small amount is called the visible spectrum. The rest of the input gets dumped by the brain as useless information.

It's design is perfect, however the 'view finder' is not. We are unable to see and hear all thing here while we remain in our 'impure'fect bodies. When Jesus comes back to restore all things including 'purity' to this planet, then everything will be experienced in it's fullest measure.

Well if your saying that's Gods fault... Lets just per tend that we evolved, if that made sense we wouldn't see a small slice of the electromagnetic spectrum either... so I guess what your saying doesn't say much about your ideas either.

I've never been exposed to idea that the idea that some religion claims the human eye to be perfect,or anything else about humans. Assuming you are attacking religion,this is a poor attempt.

There's no such thing as organic perfection, there is always some degree of variation. And it depends on what you want to see.
The human eye is one of the best on the planet, though.

An eagle has much better eye sight then we do.

And then, why blindness, cateracts, stigmatism, etc.
If humans were created in gods image, then by right, we should be gods.
